ANZPT Queenstown: Zheng to the fore of Day 1B field
Jul 22nd
Leo Tolstoy opens his epic 19th-century novel Anna Karenina by noting that, “All happy families are alike; each unhappy family is unhappy after its own fashion.” What was true of families in Tolstoy’s day is true of poker players today: the happy ones (the winners) are generally alike, but the unhappy ones — the short-stacks and the players who have been eliminated — each knows his own particular form of unhappiness. There was plenty of happiness and unhappiness to go around at Day 1B of the 2010 ANZPT Queenstown Main Event today at SKYCITY Casino in Queenstown, New Zealand. A list of the happy players might include Jesse McKenzie (69,375), who tripled up in the first half-hour of play by flopping the nut straight against a player with top set and another with a draw; Jackson Zheng, who ended the day as the chip leader (74,075) by continually chipping up throughout the day and having the good fortune to eliminate Daniel Neilson and Jonathon Karamalikis; and John Maklouf, who final-tabled the last two ANZPT events and is trying to continue a rapid ascent up the Season 2 points leaderboard. Maklouf managed to knock off Simon “durrrr killer” Watt in the last level of play to post a respectable end-of-day count of 49,425.
